Received this book from a Goodreads First Reads Giveaway!
Summary:
The world has gone to hell and all over a credit score. Anyone with an unacceptable credit score is forced out of their home and made to fend for themselves in this decaying world. You follow a couple different characters throughout the book, one of them being a mysterious girl who has no credit score.
Likes:
I liked the attempt at setting up the world and I enjoyed the idea of the plot.
Dislikes:
This book was a little jumpy to me and just didn't flow like I wanted it to. I'm a huge lover of dystopian and I was just left wanting more from the story and characters.
Overall:
Not the best dystopian I've read due to the execution not being all there. The concept though was wonderful and I can see the potential in the writing.

I’m not quite sure what to think of this book! For the most part I liked it, and enjoyed the author’s kind of comical exaggerations of what might happen in the future. This might be called an “Almost The End Of The World As We Know It” book, where a low FICO credit score has severe consequences, the least of which is being classified as “subprime”. The more I read this book, the more I liked it. And, it is absolutely the first novel I’ve ever read that included Bob Dylan’s lesser known and almost never sung three verses to “This Land Is Your Land”. That’ll make any old folk singer happy. I gave it four stars for originality alone.
